Résumé

The "Rochers de Valabres" is a fractured rock slope located in the French Alps and afected by rockfall. This slope has been chosen as an experimental site for improving knowledge on mechanisms leading to rockfall. Since 2002 scientific investigations (field observations, monitoring and numerical modelling) have been carried out on the site. A seismic network has recorded a significant seismic activity correlated with existing discontinuities. Mechanical measurements using tiltmeters monitor the slope movements in order to improve the knowledge on thermo-hydromechanical process. Different geometrical and mechanical models have been performed. In 2005 the site was chosen to concentrate research on understanding the efffect of climate change on rock slope stability in the framework of a French national program named STABROCK. This paper presents teh results of field measurements and numerical modelling carried out on the experimental site and the complementary investigations will start within the new research. The aim is to study more accurately the impact of environmental factors on rock slope instability mechanisms and to assess the possible effect of the climate change. Technical results will be integrated in a process of risk management.
